How can I add an expiration date to a Flipbook?

Ensure your Flipbooks are published at a specific timeframe with Publication Period!

All Flipbooks are available via a public URL, which means anybody can access and view your content. Sometimes, you might want to create Flipbooks that have a specific publication, and expiration date. This makes sure that they can only be accessed between these two dates.

This can be done by setting up a publication period. Here's how to do it:

Setting up a publication period

  1. Navigate to your Flipbook.

  2. Click on the Flipbook's Settings section.

  3. From the General pane, select Publication Period from the left-hand menu.

  4. Click Enable publication period.

Once you've enabled the publication period, you can also specify:

  • Published from: Start date and time

  • Published until: End date and time

After enabling Scheduling, the folder will be indicated by a tag in the Flipbook Overview:

NB: The date and time settings, will correspond to the region you have specified on the flipbook or folder due to inherited settings.

Checking whether your Flipbook has a set publication period

In the Overview section for your Flipbook, if your Flipbook has a set publication period, you will be able to see this in the Info pane.

Who can view your flipbook?

Any Flipbook with a publication period will be only accessible to the public on the set dates and accessible by you at any time inside the admin panel.
​
iPaper also offers the possibility of presenting changing content on a static URL, which makes accessing your latest content a breeze. This is done via scheduling. See how via the link below.
